Decarboxylation
2.0 g flower @ 22–25 % THC (or 1.0 g good kief)
240 °F for 40 minutes in sealed mason jar → ~400 mg usable THC
Infusion
¾ cup (170 g) unsalted butter + ½ tsp liquid sunflower lecithin
Melt to 170 °F → add decarbed flower → sous-vide 185 °F for 2 hours
Strain hard → crystal-clear 400 mg THC butter, cooled to room temp
Salted Caramel
1 cup (200 g) granulated sugar
6 tbsp All 400 mg THC butter, cubed
½ cup (120 ml) heavy cream, room temp
1 tsp flaky sea salt
Pie Crust (double crust)
2
½ cups (315 g) all-purpose flour
1 tsp salt
1 tsp sugar
1 cup (226 g) cold unsalted butter, cubed
⅓–½ cup ice water
Apple Filling
8 medium Granny Smith or Honeycrisp apples (≈ 2.5 kg), peeled and thinly sliced
½ cup (100 g) brown sugar
¼ cup (50 g) granulated sugar
2 tsp cinnamon
¼ tsp nutmeg
2 tbsp lemon juice
3 tbsp cornstarch
All salted caramel (reserve 3 tbsp for drizzle)
Egg Wash & Topping
1 egg + 1 tbsp cream
Turbinado sugar + flaky salt
Steps
1. Make crust: Pulse flour, salt, sugar → add cold butter → pulse to pea-size → drizzle ice water until it just holds → divide, wrap, chill 1 hour.
2. Make caramel: Melt sugar to deep amber → add THC butter (it will bubble) → slowly stream in cream → stir in salt → cool slightly.
3. Filling: Toss apples with sugars, spices, lemon, cornstarch → fold in warm caramel.
4. Roll bottom crust → fit into 9-inch deep-dish pan → fill with apples (pile high) → drizzle reserved caramel → roll top crust → crimp → cut vents → chill 20 min.
5. Preheat 425 °F → brush with egg wash → sprinkle turbinado + flaky salt → place on parchment-lined sheet (for drips).
6. Bake 20 min at 425 °F → lower to 375 °F → bake 45–55 min more until golden and bubbling thickly → cool on rack at least 4 hours.
Storage
Room temp → 2 days
Fridge → 5 days
Reheat slices 10 min at 325 °F for that fresh-baked magic
Dosing
400 mg ÷ 10 generous slices = 40 mg exact per slice
Half slice = cozy evening
Full slice = you’re not leaving the couch until spring
Flaky, buttery crust that shatters. Juicy apples swimming in salted caramel that pulls into long threads when you cut it.
This is the pie people request every Thanksgiving and then fight over the last piece.
Make two.
One never survives the car ride.
